Packin' Heat
Jan. 21st, 2008 10:17 pmThis morning some of our water pipes here froze.
After suffering most of the day with only cold water from the kitchen faucet (and half-frozen rainwater brought in from barrels outside for toilet flushing) I had the idea to warm the pipes with a handheld blow dryer.
It did the trick! We got our lines reopened without bursting any, and I'll wash my own hair before bedtime.
Typical winter for here.
